You’ve Heard of Cricket Cups but the Farmer Cup Might Change Maharashtra Forever
In a small village in Maharashtra, a dozen farmers huddle around a freshly dug patch of soil, debating moisture levels with the excitement of a cricket strategy meeting. Nearby, a women’s collective is busy planning a bulk seed purchase to cut costs for the season.
These scenes are playing out across 46 talukas, perhaps signs of a rural transformation powered by teamwork, training, and a sense of shared purpose.
Welcome to the Farmer Cup, an initiative that is turning agriculture into a collaborative sport — and farmers into changemakers
In a major boost to this people-driven revolution, the Maharashtra Government has partnered with Paani Foundation to expand the ‘Satyamev Jayate Farmer Cup’ to every taluka and village in the state.
The initiative will form 15,000 Farmer........© The Better India
